Different Turn Of Events
Chapter 9

Rose
Dimitri and I shared a romantic meal and then we sat on the balcony, him in his boxers and me in my underwear and his t-shirt, and we watched the sun go down. The night was warmer then I thought it would be for this time of year and if Dimitri was cold he didn't mention anything. Eventually it was time for Dimitri to leave so he could go and be with Lissa and do his job. He promised to be back soon but that didn't make it any better. I hated it when Dimitri left, especially now my mom's not here to keep me busy. This small apartment suddenly felt huge and I didn't want to be alone. I wish there was a way that Dimitri could have stayed or anyone could have been here until my mom got back. I've had enough of being independent. I want someone to come and look after me for a change, preferably I want that person to be Dimitri.

As soon as I closed the front door when Dimitri left I wanted to open and call his name. I wanted him to come back and stay but I know how much his job means to him and nothing will come in the way of his job. He is guarding the next Queen after all, it is a pretty big job. If I hadn't left St Vlads then Dimitri and I could spend more time together and I would probably be going on vacation with them all but no… I'm stuck here on my own for the next few days. I don't even have a pet to talk to. I have been asking if we can get a pet, just something easy like a fish or something but my mom wasn't keen on any animal. Not even a goldfish which is like the easiest animal to look after.

I walked into my bedroom and saw the bed covers all rumpled up and I smiled to myself. Dimitri and I had finally gotten together and it was in my bed. I laid down on it and could smell Dimitri's scent on the bed and especially on one of the pillows. I put my head down on the edge of the pillow and put my arms around it as if it was Dimitri, it made me feel better. It was as if there was a little bit of him still here with me. I breathed in his scent deeply and started to feel myself drifting off again. Maybe I would feel better once I've rested and had a real sleep, not a nap.

A loud bang on the door startled me and instantly woke me from my sleep. I got out of bed and inched my way closer to the door. There was another big bang on the door. I took a few deep breaths, went to the door and threw it open but I instantly regretted it.

"Hello Rose"

I tried to throw the door closed but his hand came out and grabbed the door. The door flew open so I took a step back and he took a step inside. He closed the front door and just stood there smirking at me "Are you not going to greet me? I am an old friend after all" He said.

"Jesse… please leave" I pleaded and I have to admit, I sounded pathetic.

"Oh c'mon Rose. We're friends" He replied.

"You're not my friend. You're a rapist" I stated.

"It's not nice to label people" He said "So Headmistress Kirova tells me" He added.

"Get the hell out of my house" I demanded.

"No can do. My Guardians dropped me off here so I could visit you and then they will come and pick me up a little later on. I can't leave without my Guardians, something bad might happen to me" He explained and walked further inside.

"Couldn't happen to a nicer guy" I replied with my voice dripping in sarcasm.

Jesse started walking towards my bedroom but I rushed over and closed the door over. He wasn't getting me in my bedroom. We were standing so close and I could feel the heat of his breath on me. I turned my head away so I wasn't looking at him.

Jesse brought his index finger to the side of my cheek and he pushed my head so I was facing him again. He stood there still smiling at me "You can't be angry at me because you changed your mind. You're crying rape when you were the one desperate for a bit" He teased "It was your idea for us to sneak out so we could mess around. What did you think was going to happen? You wanted it and don't you dare forget it" He explained.

"I was unconscious! I couldn't give my consent and that makes it rape! You drank from me and had sex with me without my permission. You are disgusting and I promise you are going to rot in the depths of hell for what you did!" I shouted at him and pushed him away from me.

In a flash Jesse was back in front of me and not even phased by the push. He had has hands either side of my head and he brought his face close to mine. So close I could feel the heat of his skin. His lips were less then an inch away from me "Touch me again" He warned in such a low voice I almost missed it.

Nothing happened for a few seconds. I decided not to be his play thing anymore. I shoved him away from me and before he had the chance to retaliate I punched him in the face and wrestled him to the floor. I was on top of him and I started punching him in the face over and over again. He tried to fight against me but he hasn't had all the training I had. I lifted my fist to land another blow when fire came towards me. I managed to dodge it and I rolled off Jesse and onto the floor next to him.

I went to get up but Jesse had hold of me and shoved me to the ground. He put one leg between mine and put his hands on my wrist so that I couldn't move. I laid there breathing heavily and trying to fight him off but he had the upper hand now.

"Listen to me you little blood whore" He started "I'm going to let you up and the two of us are going to walk to your bedroom and I'm going to remind you how good of friends we are. If you try and fight back or escape then I set you on fire and leave you to burn to ashes" He finished.

The two of us stood up and he grabbed my hand. He dragged me towards my bedroom and as we approached the door I tried tugging my hand away from him but he was gripped on tightly. We reached the door and he swung the door open. We stood there and I watched as Jesse looked into my bedroom and he smirked at me "Cute" He said and started dragging me into the room.

As soon as we got into the bedroom he kicked the door closed and pushed me hard onto the bed. I fell onto it and before I had a chance to sit up Jesse got on me. He used his hands to hold my wrists down and he smiled so wide I saw his fangs "Please Jesse. Don't put me through this again" I begged him as tears started forming up in my eyes.

"Don't worry" He replied and he leaned his head down towards me.

Jesse did pretty much what he did last time. He bit me but he took a lot from me, so much that I was dazed. I didn't pass out this time. I wasn't that lucky but I was so dazed I didn't even know what was going on. That was his plan. He drank so much from me until I was dazed and couldn't fight him off and then he took his chance, he stripped my clothes off me. He was whispering a commentary to me as he did and he took his sweet time. He told me he wanted me to feel like unlike last time. I kept pleading with him and I used as much energy as I could to get him off but he had weakened me.

He left pretty much straight after but not before stroking my face, telling me he would see me on the next school break and telling me I was a 'great friend'. I managed to roll onto my side and get sick all over the floor. It wasn't a classy thing but I couldn't help myself. Jesse made me sick.

I can't believe that he was able to do this to me again. I hated he had this power over me and I don't know how. I was training to be a Guardian for Lissa and I used to be able to kick most people's asses. Why was Jesse so different? He wasn't particularly strong or anything. I don't know why Jesse would do this to me. I know flirted and made out but I always told him where he stood with me and what I was comfortable with. He must really hate me or something, I don't know what I did for him to hate me so much he wanted to destroy my life like this.

I started getting back to normal, the endorphins were wearing off and although I was still weak and dizzy I was stronger then before. I grabbed my cell phone on the night stand and called the one person I know would come and help me.

"Hello?"

"I need you" I cried into the phone.

Will Rose ever get a break?
Personally I have to admit that I like seeing this vulnerable side to Rose, it's different.
